Literacy Project- Character Traits!

For my literacy project I decided to do a digital story on character traits. We are focusing on this concept in the third grade classroom that I co-teach in. The kids were very motivated to participate in this project. They had to define character traits, tell how they are demonstrated in a story, use character traits in a Biographical Poem, and create a digital story. The kids loved this unit! They are going to use their digital story to teach character traits to the 5 other third grade classrooms. They are also using this to teach and to communicate with their parents the concept of character traits. The kids really loved this WeVideo and can't wait to make another.  I liked using WeVideo.  Have you used it?

Wordle!!

We have been using Wordle this week as we work on character traits. We had students come up with 3-5 character traits about themselves and then create a wordle to show these traits.  My students got really creative and had a great time using this!

Click on this to see a great blog that gives 20 great ideas how to use Wordle.

What do you think of Wordle?  How have you used it in your classroom?
